Photographer's Note

In my way to Formiga River where I would have a boia-cross ride (floating on the river with truck tire inner tube) I found those little and lovely children playing on the water. They looked pretty happy, swimming, screaming and jumping like crazy. I just had to crouch, no need to ask. They immediately came to me and posed for the photo. No words to translate how cheerful and happy I was at the moment. Unfortunately when I opened the file at home I noticed the quality of the photo was not good, sort of blurred (thanks to the efficient auto-focus of my special lens). Even so I decided to share it with you. Hope you like it!

Hi Carlos
this is a great moment caught on camera. love the double portrait here, double the fun!
its wonderful how welcoming they were to you, allowing you to shoot closely.
the mind of a child is priceless.
lovely work

Hello Carlos,
These kids really are delightful. You have captured them at the very right moment, when they are of so good cheer. Their exhilaration has made the shot simply beautiful. Excellent photo!
Best regards,

Excellent dubble portrait in a verticla format well selected. The glance, the expression of the child in the FG are very well collected. The localisation of the two children give a greta depht to the image. nice harmony in the colors too.

It is a true small clown this child and in all the cases that made laugh his young girlfriend in background… Beautiful and tenderizing photo and I must say that you took the child at the good moment, well done Carlos, cheer.

This is a fun situation with two happy kids at play!
Water seems to have a special attraction to children and here I assume the water temperature is pleasant too...
A nice situation is well recorded, a fine atmosphere is transmitted!

Olà Carlos
It is rare to see children in your gallery ;) I found the sharpness reasonable and maybe the light was not at its best but the clarity is good enough...
I like the way they looked at you, specially the one in front with his funny glance ;)
Um abraço

Hello Carlos,
The photographic quality looks good to me. What wonderful spontaneity and an excellent informal portrait of these happy children. The color, clarity, and light are especially nice.
Kind regards,
Betty

At last I find the time and chance to vote this splendid portrait: everything is so fine and expressive in this photo, the funny expression of the child in fg and his curious posture, the smile of the girl behind, the colour and ripples in the pond, and even the textures of tha sand and skin.
A lucky capture but also a masterful composition.
My best compliments,
Donato

Hello Carlos,
I wasn't in TE for a while, therefore I missed to critique lot of your photos. When I opened your page, the road and the yellow line attracted me in the first sight, but this one is a beauty. The naive, sincere looks and a beautiful compo. I wouldn't change a thing in the world.)
Best Regards,
Didem

Really great portrait. What should I say you were luck, experienced, patient or something else to get this marvelous pose. I have seen a lot of children portrait but I found a very few picture full of life as this picture shows.
